The golden shower tree is a medium-sized tree, growing to 10-20 m (33-66 ft) tall with fast growth. The leaves are deciduous, 15-60 cm (5.9-23.6 in) long, and pinnate with three to eight pairs of leaflets, each leaflet 7-21 cm (2.8-8.3 in) long and 4-9 cm (1.6-3.5 in) broad. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes 20-40 cm (7.9-15.7 in) long, each flower 4-7 cm (1.6-2.8 in) diameter with five yellow petals of equal size and shape. The fruit is a legume, 30-60 cm (12-24 in) long and 1.5-2.5 centimetres (0.59-0.98 in) broad, with a pungent odor and containing several seeds. The tree has strong and very durable wood, and has been used to construct "Ahala Kanuwa", a place at Adams Peak, Sri Lanka, which is made of Cassia fistula (ahala, ehela, or aehaela, ???? in Sinhala [2]) heartwood.

  • Cassia fistula is widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical areas. It blooms in late spring. Flowering is profuse, with trees being covered with yellow flowers, many times with almost no leaf being seen. It will grow well in dry climates. Growth for this tree is best in full sun on well-drained soil; it is relatively drought tolerant and slightly salt tolerant.
  • It will tolerate light brief frost, but can get damaged if frost persists. It can be subject to mildew or leaf spot, especially during the second half of the growing season.
  • The tree will bloom better where there is pronounced difference between summer and winter temperatures.
